Pepper Chile Lemon Drop -25 seeds
Also known as "Ahi Limon", this popular seasoning pepper from Peru has a Scoville rating of 30,000-50,000, similar to that of a cayenne pepper. While nice and spicy, this pepper has flavor beyond heat with strong notes of citrus and an even lemony scent when cut. This is an excellent pepper for drying, and often only contains 10-15 seeds per fruit. Plants are very prolific, but do take a long time to mature.
